Every week my office hears from constituents who need assistance with a federal agency. With the size and complexity of Washington's bureaucracy, it is no surprise many need help navigating. The good news is my staff of professional caseworkers and I can help. We have opened thousands of casework inquiries and we have successfully completed almost every single one.

If you need help expediting a passport, we can assist. If you are having problems with the IRS, my staff can help direct you through the maze of websites and paperwork related to everyone's least favorite tax collecting agency. If you are having trouble with your Social Security check, we know what to do and who to talk to. We also specialize in helping veterans get access to the benefits they have so rightfully earned.

My office provides other services you may not know about. We can have a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of a loved one or special occasion. If you are a college student and have an interest in public service, we have periodic openings for interns in both my Canton and Washington, D.C., offices. My staff can help you get a Congressional Commendation or a Presidential Greeting for events like a graduation or an Eagle Scout ceremony.

I also offer yearly nominations to the U.S. Service Academies for students who have shown the scholastic aptitude and leadership skills required to serve as an officer in our military. Last year, four students from the 16th District were accepted. Our district also takes part in the annual Congressional Art Competition and my office takes submissions in early March. Winning artwork is displayed in the Capitol for one year.

Assisting the people of the 16th District is my most important job and it is always the most rewarding for me personally. For more information on how my office can be of service to you, please head to my website (www.renacci.house.gov) and click on the "Serving You" tab or call my Canton office at the number below. My staff there would be happy to help.
